Tasting note: Medium red color. The juicy, bright aromas of jammy raspberry, gingerbread, molasses, cured meat and mocha build and gain in sweetness in the glass. Distinctly wild on the palate, showing flavors of strawberry, aged beef and espresso. Fresh, vibrant and long on the finish, which features finely integrated tannins and a note of tobacco. (91pts.

Tasting note: A newcomer that is just beginning to exploit its potential, this estate is owned by Aime and Michel Arnaud. The 2003 Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes Cuvee Unique possesses more flavor and intensity than its light ruby color suggests. Sweet, seductive kirsch liqueur characteristics combined with pepper and spice box tumble from the glass of this medium-bodied, savory, fleshy red. Enjoy it over the next 1-3 years. (87pts. Robert Parker)
